The Gotos Islands (Kakish: Gohtohs Iskjands, Gotosian: Gohtohsa Eskands), is an island set in the Marco Gulf and a territory of Kakland under the Gotos Islands SFAR.
The largest city is Gotos City, which is located on the largest island, Iskvha Iskjand, with having a {insert population here} as of 2020. It is the main port city of the Marco Gulf, and the main trading center. It also hosts the Marco Pact Embassy Building.
The Gotos Islands sit in a subtropical region, with seasonal tropical storms and the occasionall hurricane. The islands sit on a tectonic plate on the Northern part of Iskvha Iskjand, the largest island. Because of this tectonic plate, tsunami risk is high for the islands, along with the rest of Kakland and surrounding areas.
History of the Gotos Islands
The islands were first inhabited by the Proto-Kaks (Thrismari Germanics) around 50,000 BCE, a few thousand years after the settlement of the Maricoenian-Kakish Region in 55,000. Over the millennia, civilization grew and flourished. But the Gotos Island people were far behind to their counterparts in mainland Kakland. The Gotosians made contact with merchants from the Kysxk Kingdom in 1087 CE, and with it came many things, good and bad. The Kysxk and other kingdoms/empires made trading ports on the Gotos Islands, and established the Kingdom of the Gotos People, or more commonly known as the Gotosian Kingdom, in 1128 CE. Christianity was introduced in the same year.
By the late 1300s, the Gotosian Kingdom grew in power to that of a small kingdom, providing many trades that the rest of mainland Kakland didn't have, such as a large supply of copper and salt. But because of this, the kingdom was dependent on others for other trades that the island didn't have naturally. Though this didn't stop Gotosians from wanting to be truly independent from others. In 1386, the Gotosian Kingdom declared economic independence from the Kysxk Kingdom. The current king of the Kysxk Kingdom, Vekna Hasx, new the economical importance of the island region, so instead of granting independence, the king declared war upon the Gotosian Kingdom.
The war, called the Gotos-Kysxk War, would go on from January 15th, 1386 to August 13th, 1401 (25 years, six months, and five days). The winning victory was the Kysxk Kingdom, with the Gotos Islands becoming a dependency of the Kysxk Kingdom.
